Dolloff, a 47-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with the Easter morning beating of her husband at the couple's home in Standish. Authorities say Linda Dolloff, who sustained a gunshot wound to the abdomen in the April 12 incident, is charged with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of elevated aggravated assault and one count of filing a false report.

PORTLAND, Maine — A Standish woman accused of trying to kill her 53-year-old husband early Easter Sunday remains in jail on $100,000 bail following her initial appearance in Cumberland County Superior Court.

Forty-seven-year-old Linda Dolloff entered no plea Friday to charges of attempted murder, elevated aggravated assault and filing a false report in connection with the April 12 attack on Jeffrey Dolloff.

The Portland Press Herald said defense lawyer Martin Ridge did not argue the bail amount but said he plans to file a motion seeking a hearing to revisit the bail issue.

Linda Dolloff sustained a gunshot wound to the abdomen during the incident and said an intruder had attacked the couple. The charges were filed after a two-month investigation.

I am confused... if she was the one who did this, did she shoot herself? Am I reading this wrong?

The husband needs the services of Spruce Run, if they allow him in the building.

it sounded to me she went crazy when the intruder was trying to break in, then she fired a shot and hit the wrong person. Anyone know what the husbands story is?

Erika2 She said that there was an intruder but that was the story she made up. Sounds like she shot herself in the abdomen so that she could corroborate her story. After the investigation concluded, it was discovered that there was NO intruder... Read the article again

Maybe the husband shot her in the abdomen is self defense? This article doesn't really clearly draw a picture.

FINALLY a good bail amount-she should get no bail at all nor a public defender.More tax dollars wasted
